FAQ
Is AI legal research accurate?
Accuracy, hallucinated citations, jurisdictions, whether this is legal advice, cost, and cancellation. The honest answers lawyers ask for before they trust a research tool.
Casesearch is built to surface real, citable authorities and to show you the source for every answer, so you read the opinion and verify it before you rely on it. You never get an unsourced essay or an invented citation presented as fact. Every result is a real case with a reporter citation, court, year, and a plain-language holding, plus a treatment signal showing whether it is still good law. This show-the-sources, you-verify stance is the whole point of the product after studies found general AI legal tools still hallucinate citations.
No. Casesearch is a legal research accelerator, not legal advice, and using it does not create an attorney-client relationship. You remain the lawyer. It finds and summarizes authorities so you can research faster, but you read the full opinions, apply judgment, and make the legal decisions. Always verify citations before relying on them.
Casesearch covers federal and state case law and statutes, including U.S. Supreme Court and federal circuit opinions, state supreme and appellate decisions, and the federal and state codes that control an issue. You can narrow a question to a jurisdiction so the authorities you get back are the ones that bind your matter.
No. You ask a question in plain English, the way you would ask a colleague, for example, can a non-compete be enforced against a remote contractor in California. There is no Boolean syntax, no proximity operators, and no query language to memorize. That is the core difference from the older database-style tools.
Casesearch gives you plain-English answers with cited precedents and holding summaries at a transparent, self-serve price a solo or small firm can actually buy. The enterprise tools are powerful but cost roughly 1,500 to 3,000 dollars or more per seat a year, are sales-gated, and lean on Boolean search. Casesearch is built for solos and small firms who do not have a five-figure research seat, with prices on the page and no enterprise contract.
Casesearch is transparently priced and self-serve. Solo is 39 dollars per month, Firm is 89 dollars per month, and Practice is 199 dollars per month, billed yearly, with Enterprise priced on request. There is no contact-sales gate just to see a price, and no five-figure seat. The interactive research console on the site is free to try.
Yes. Casesearch is self-serve with no long-term lock-in on the Solo, Firm, and Practice plans. You can change or cancel your plan anytime, and there is no proprietary research format to rebuild if you leave.
Yes. Casesearch is served over SSL, and we do not sell your research questions or your email. Your queries are used to run your research and improve your own experience, not to train a product for someone else. Enterprise plans add SSO and access controls for firms that need them.
